Hi This is Uma. I tried this snack with besan flour,chillipowder etc. However, I found that it came out chunky and it did not taste like the one sold in stores. Does any one have a recipie that is easy to make this even if it means baked so that they do not come out clumped together. Or is there something that I am not doing. Probably a cooking secret!

Thanks

  Hi Uma,
  I'm just re-posting this recipe from one of the earlier postings for you. I've not tried it myself but you can definitely try it if you find it interesting.
  
  Fried Peanut Crunchies
  Ingredients
  1 cup shelled dry peanuts
  3/4 cup gramflour
  2 tbsp. rice flour
  1 1/2 tsp. red chilli powder
  1/4 tsp. cumin seeds crushed coarsely
  1 tbsp. hot oil
  1 pinch citric acid powder
  Salt
  1/4 cup water
  Oil to deep fry
  Method
  Mix all ingredients well, except peanuts.
  Add peanuts, coat them evenly with mixture.
  Heat oil in a frying pan.
  Take a lumpful, drop coated nuts individually in hot oil.
  Drop enough to use all oil.
  Fry on medium heat, till light golden.
  Drain, place on absorbent paper to soak excess oil.
  Separate any nuts stuck together.
  When cool, store in airtight jars.
  Add water a little at a time, since the coating paste should be quite
  thick. Alter the quantity as required.
  Serve with drinks, cocktails or as anytime snacks.
  Do let me know how it turned out so I can also try it!

  Thank you SM for your response. I have tried this and I am scared about getting my hands burnt because of the oil. I was wondering if you knew the baked version for the same.
